I was of the same opinion, but a coworker has started using the CCS and my
opinion has changed.
Having the ability to program in C is not that much of an advantage, but all
the functions they supply are a great advantage.  Example, I2C code, using
the hardware or bit banging it.
But many times we refer back to the assembly output to see what it is doing.
I would never recommend to anyone to use C for a pic to avoid learning ASM.

Best regards,
Giles

I have always been a bit-man... I prefer to have total control over all the
registers, files, code, bits, and the like... but, it takes a long time to
code that way. I use the MPLAB for my coding and want to start using a C
compiler. I just want to hear what people out there use. What's good,
cheap, and prefered - usable with MPLAB?

Thanks,
